Web sites are a good place to find an apartment or house to rent, if you want to go through the entire list to find one in your state and then city.





The best place to look for places to rent is to go to the yellow pages of your telephone book, look under property managers.





These individuals list properties for rent in certain areas, so make sure you select the areas in which you wish to rent.





Call several of the property managers listed there, tell them you want a list of properties that they have for rent. Some will fax, email or mail the list of local places to rent along with the address, number of bedrooms and bath rooms the cost of the rental also an application.





They might indicate a web site that you might visit to get their list of places to rent. It does not cost to get a rental list from a reputable property manager.





Some will require you to stop by their office and pick up the list. A lot of them post their list outside so the list are available 24/7 360.





Make sure you don't fall for the scams and purchase a list as 70%-80% of these list are composed of free list they have compiled. They are not the property managers of any property in most instances.





You might also google Property managers in whatever city or community you want to live in and see what comes up. Again do not pay for this information as it is free from reliable property managers.





I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.

The best thing to do is get an apartment guide, or apartment finder magazine. These are available in grocery stores. Look at the apartments that are in your price range. Go to the apartment communities and meet with the manager. See the apartments. If you like one, fill out an application. Be sure you really like it because there is an application fee. You can't afford to be paying app fees all over town. They will check your credit, your employment and rental references and see if they want to rent to you. You can ask about specials. The apartment business is hurting because of the economy and they are offering months free rent, upgrades, all kinds of things to get people to rent. Don't rush into anything. A lease is a legal document and once it is signed you are obligated to fulfill it.
Check the ads in your local newspaper. Don't send anything to anybody until you've seen the unit. You're the buyer, they're trying to sell something, so keep the upper hand.
they will ask for proof of employment,income,credit,and if you like friedchickenamdwatermelon....
